Aw hell folks, it's everyone... no particular portion of the industry or type of webmaster to blame.
Everyone was greedy, they wanted the money, they wanted the power, they wanted the status... so "fuck the industry as a whole as long as I'm gettin' some and I'm gettin' it out there before my competitors" was the mob rule.
Too much free porn?
Tell the TGP owners and LL owners that we're supposed to be *selling to* the surfer, not *giving to* the surfer, and get them to allow us to actually advertise on our pages.
Tell the sponsor programs to stop giving out hardcore, insertion, cumshot content for free to its webmasters. When the sponsor *gives* it away, they devalue it and therefore the webmaster thinks it's okay to *give* away. If the webmasters had to *pay* for hardcore content to use in their sites and galleries, they'd be more apt to make sure it was going to pay off (like putting it behind an AVS or ASD or whatever the fuck it's called these days).
Tell the content providers to stop acting like fucking "follow the leader" idiots and doing the same thing to their section of the industry that TGPs did to this one. Why all the fire sales? Because everyone's giving the fucking content away!! I haven't had to buy content in months unless I was looking for something very specific, and the free shit that's being given away each week is top-quality, crystal clear, high-resolution stuff. Sets that you would've been paying at least $50 for a year ago - and they're giving away 4 and 5 of 'em at a damn time.
Tell the sponsors to quit giving pre-built galleries and free sites (jesus christ you don't even have to build anything anymore) to people who don't know what to do with it. Set a minimum traffic level for folks who want access to the pre-built stuff. That way you don't have Joe Schmoe signing up, taking 300 pre-built galleries and scattering them all over his free host, then leaving the business pissed off from no sales a month later and leaving those 4,500 free pics floating around out there. Give these tools to the people who know how to use them and who have the traffic to prove it.
And for god's sake, someone please tell the fat pipes to raise the bandwidth prices again so some of these cheating motherfuckers with the redirecting shit and spamming will find it too expensive to continue with their bullshit.
*kicks soapbox back to the middle of the circle*
